Just concentrate on your education for now mate, that is very important, becoming a pilot is a long hard road and you would be wise to have something to fall back on incase it all goes the wrong way for you, if you are planning on trying to get a sponsorship then make sure you check the airline selection criteria because I know when I applied to Britannia 2 years ago they specified no more than 30 hrs flying time so obtaining a PPL would be no good for you.
To get your fATPL you need a PPL, IMC (you dont really need an IMCR), NightR, MER, IR, CPL, and of course your 14 ATPL ground exams, to be considered for a job it is common to have to have MCC and JOT on your licence too, and the way the industry is going i can see you will need a TR with line experience within a couple of years, at least thats what I gleaned from the owner of Astraeus.

Dean. 🙂

p.s. you need to “unfreeze” your fATPL within 7 years of issue, if not your ATPL ground exams will expire, to unfreeze your fATPL you need 1500 hrs, good luck 🙂

The British forces are going to start doing french accents in Iraq so they aren’t attacked (Osama’s deal)

Tu pense que tu parles le français, mais je le ne crois pas. Tu ne parles pas le français si tu sais seulement une phrase. Il faut connaître beaucoup plus de français, et il faut le parler sans trop de fautes ou les gens n’iront pas te comprendre.

A pilot’s training is indeed very expensive, and a big part of your salary will have to go to the loan payback.

cheers im only 14 and i want to get a good “headstart” on everyone. My physical side of training is alright:
not colourblind
i have got 20-20 vision
i can swim up to and around 2 miles
i can run about 15 km ( dont know in miles)
and i have a lot of determination to have a Jaguar X-type estate and have a wife and a house and a job ive wanted since i was 8

Whoever told you it costs £300,000 is pulling your leg, if you were to do an intergrated course you can expect to pay between £60,000 – £80,000 and if you decided modular is the way for you then you can expect this to cost in the region of £30,000 – £35,000.
FlyBE have not sponsored pilots in a long time, Britannia are sponsoring at the moment but applications are closed for this year, EasyJet sponsor too but use CTCMcAlpine and you are bonded if you get through.
Im afraid in this current economic climate its going to be tough for anyone, with so little sponsorship places around the competition is going to be high, and you have to ask yourself why should they take you on as opposed someone else, what do you offer the airline thats more attractive. Its the same with me, Im 31 now, and I have to self sponsor, I know Im probably too old but if I dont do it I dont want to get to 45 yrs old and say “if only Id tried” and I know once i get my fATPL its going to be tough for me to offer the airline something over and above someone young with a university degree etc.

Good luck 🙂

I dont know about over there but here in England you will be looking to pay around £50,000 + or – a bit. If you mean getting an ATPL (Airline Transport Pilots Licence) which you require to fly passengers for airlines that that is the cost. This is then not activated until you have enough experience as an airline pilot, so it is called a Frozen ATPL.
Just getting your Commercial Licence wont cost much at all, but you need a lot more to fly for an airline. Lots of ratings (IR, Night…) and only when you have all these do you get the ATPL which is needed to fly for an airline.

Qu’est ce que c’est le “francsais”??? :confused:

The last time I saw an advert was in Flight magazine, how about trawling through the net, that may turn up something.

Failing that contact the airlines direct, their HR or personnel departments should be able to tell you.

how do apply if you know

Aim low to start with, some airlines offer scholarships, FLYBE for instance.

Oh and as of 11:00 im going .
